May CAS Mix Up Reminder

Time for our CAS Mix Up Reminder hosted by Bonnie.

My card using Tim Holtz Distress Crayons, Stamping, and Dry Embossing.

I used SU "Layered Leaves" Dynamic Textured Impressions folder, 

which gave a dense design onto my Strathmore Mixed Media paper.

A Tip: when using dense designs, break CS fiber by spritzing

lightly with water or bending and sliding gently against edge of table or desk.

This prevents image from cracking.

I cut image down to a panel size and watercolored with T.H. Distress Crayons:

Festive Berries, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed, Twisted Citron,

Chipped Sapphire and Seedless Preserves for a rainbow effect.

I scribbled each crayon color onto my craft mat and spritzed with water.

I used a #2 watercolor brush to color each rainbow colored leaf.

I had no idea there was so much pigment in Distress Crayons, 

so works beautifully for watercoloring.

I watercolored the border with Chipped Sapphire, so colors would match and attached

to SU Whisper White Thick Card Base.

Then stamped the sentiment using Festive Inks Distress Ink.

Adding Rhinestone and Done.

Thank you Bonnie or such a fun challenge.  It was the push I needed to get out my crayons:-)

Be sure and check out all the DT and our talented Guest Designer Jenny (My Paper Epiphany) sample cards.  You have until the 24th to play along.  Hugs...
